The relationship between stone carving museum and geomantic omen

In traditional architecture, it is difficult to separate the location of the building and the layout of components such as doors and windows from the Feng Shui Hyunri. In ancient times, no matter emperors, generals or ordinary people, as long as they had the ability, they would ask feng shui experts to conduct surveys in the early stage of building construction. Even many buildings coincide with the theory of Feng Shui. Even today, there are still some buildings with gossip layout, which are extremely mysterious. Stone pavilions, which are common in garden scenic spots and forest trails, are also inextricably linked with the theory of geomantic metaphysics.

According to the shape, the common stone gazebo has pentagonal structure, hexagonal structure and even octagonal structure. Its pavilion eaves continue the characteristics of flying eaves and ravines in traditional architecture, but their shapes coincide with metaphysical elements such as "Five Elements", "Liuhe" and "Eight Diagrams". Stone pavilions are generally made of gray granite, which is popular all over the world because of its weathering resistance and corrosion resistance. Many of China's allusions have their pavilions and pavilions. It can be seen that the pavilion plays an important role in China stone culture.

In the past, stone pavilions were not all composed of stone carving elements, but with the development of technology, the common stone pavilions are basically all-stone structures, and even some bricks and tiles have been replaced by stone carving. Stone pavilions continue the characteristics of traditional pavilions and ancient buildings, and are integrated into stone carving techniques, with more diverse expressive force. In addition, carving dragons and painting phoenixes is not limited to columns, but cornice frames, beams and other places can show a beautiful artistic sense. Coupled with artificial or natural ponds and lush trees, it creates a quiet and elegant environmental atmosphere, which is an excellent place for people in the fast-paced era of cross-flow of materials. Perhaps this is also the reason why Shiting has been passed down to this day.
